useful Improvements in Construction of' Stute-Rooms; and l do hereby declare the following to'loe a, full, clear, enfl enact description of the invention, such as will en able others skilled in the srt to which it eppertains to make und use the same.

"\fl`his invention -relates to passenger ships, and has for its object to provide e construction of vessel of thekinrl disclosed in my Patent Number 1,029,546, dute June il, 19,12,- which will give more internal specs in the cabins that is free from obstructions than has heretofore been possible, While .et the same time leaving the full strength ci the vessel unimpaired.

To these ends the invention consists in the novel. eletails oin construction and combinationsof parts more fully .hereinafter disclosed and particularly pointed out in the claims.

Referring to the accompanying reivings forming a part of this specicstion in 'which like numerals designate like parts in ell the views z-Figure l is a fragmentary cross sectional view of a vessel huilt in scoordance with my invention with the cabins removed; and Fig. 2 is a view similar to Fig, l indicating the location of o. portion of the cabin Woodwork.

l represents the outer skin of the ship, 2.,. the deck plating, 3 longitudinal 'rernes, transverse frames, anu 5 transverse seems,

all. of which are of the sume or simile? construction as the corresponding members in my said `patent above. Tnet is tosey, .the transverse frames and Dennis are n plurality of times stronger and are spliced e plurality oi' times further apart than hes liertofore been customary in the seine' kind of vessel, and therefore .consecutive transverse frames 4 are vmuch deeper then is thecnse in vessels employing closely spaced l transf verses. i

As is Well known, it is highly desirable to have al1 the space in a cabin or saloon as free from obstructions as possible, and

vin this invention, in order to accomplish this result, I preferably locate my trans verse saloon orcebin partitions 6 Whenever it is possible, 1n prolongation of the Webs o the transverse frames 4, anti of the Webs Speeleston of *Letters intent.
